Illusory motions refer to the phenomena in which static images composed of certain colors and patterns lead to the illusion of motions. This paper presents an approach for generating illusory motions on 3D surfaces which can be used for shape illustration as well as artistic visualization of line fields on...
In the recent years, resource depletion of inshore and coastal fisheries has seriously impacted Taiwan. Local fishing communities’ economic profits in these fisheries have declined and resulted in lower earned incomes for the fishermen. These phenomena have lead many scholars, government agencies and fishing communities to evaluate the optimal number...
In recent years, WTO constantly focuses on fishery subsidy negotiations, and since the Non-actionable subsidies have been cancelled, fishery subsidies norm is still hard to reach a consensus. Although the WTO president drafted a list of prohibitive subsidies in 2008, they have been implementing widely in most countries, especially the...
This paper develops an option value model to examine vessel owners in deciding to participate or not in the vessel buyback program. The model accounts for the uncertainty generally involved in a decision to retire an aged vessel and the underlying value of waiting for new information about the profitability...
ZnO nanofilms with four distinctly different morphologies were fabricated by adjusting physical parameters including the flow rate of the solution and rpm of the rotating disk in the continuous flow mircroreactor system while keeping the same chemical precursors, precursor solution concentration, and reaction temperature. Controlled reactive species including colloidal ZnO...
The progress made in accelerating simulations of fluid flow using GPUs, and the challenges that remain, are surveyed. The review first provides an introduction to GPU computing and programming, and discusses various considerations for improved performance. Case studies comparing the performance of CPU- and GPUbased solvers for the Laplace and...
The dielectric spectra of CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ is characterized by a large permittivity (εᵣ>10 000) with only a weak dependence on temperature over the temperature range 200–400 K. In this work, doping with 0.1–1.0 wt % ZrO₂ has been shown to dramatically reduce the dielectric loss. At 0.5 wt % ZrO₂, tan...
A novel table-top, microreactor-assisted nanomaterial deposition (MAND™) process, which combines the merits of microreaction technology with solution-phase nanomaterial synthesis and film deposition, was used to grow a nanostructured ZnO anti-reflective coating on a textured silicon substrate from aqueous solution. The subwavelength, anti-reflective nanostructures mimicked the structure and performance of the...
